Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare for approach
   • Latest available information for destination is reviewed
   • Navigation system validity check is conducted as applicable
   • Receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM)/satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) check is conducted as required
   • Flight plan is selected, loaded, checked and activated as applicable
   • Current approach chart for approach to be flown is selected and briefed
   • Navigation aid required for approach is checked and confirmed as serviceable
2. Conduct an approach
   • Altimeter QNH is updated and set
   • Automation is used appropriately
   • Navigation aid signal integrity is monitored during approach
   • Vertical and lateral flight path is flown within published tolerances
   • Specified altitude check on glide slope is performed
   • Aircraft is flown to a stabilised descent profile from the final approach fix to minima
   • Visual reference is established and a visual circling or runway approach conducted for a landing on the selected runway
3. Navigation system validity check is conducted as applicable
4. Receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM)/satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) check is conducted as required
5. Flight plan is selected, loaded, checked and activated as applicable
6. Current approach chart for approach to be flown is selected and briefed
7. Navigation aid required for approach is checked and confirmed as serviceable
8. Conduct initial approach
   • Altimeter QNH is set correctly
9. Aircraft is manoeuvred to the holding fix
10. Conduct a holding pattern
    • Holding pattern is entered and performed from the holding fix
11. Aircraft is flown in accordance with relevant approach procedure requirements
    • Altimeter QNH is updated and set
12. Automation is used appropriately
13. Navigation aid signal integrity is monitored during approach
14. Vertical and lateral flight path is flown within published tolerances
15. Specified altitude check on glide slope is performed
16. Aircraft is flown to a stabilised descent profile from the final approach fix to minima
17. Visual reference is established and a visual circling or runway approach conducted for a landing on the selected runway
18. Conduct a missed approach
    • Missed approach conditions are recognised and missed approach is initiated
19. Aircraft is manoeuvred to the missed approach point (MAPt)
20. Missed approach procedure is conducted in accordance with the instrument approach and landing (IAL) chart
21. Obstacle clearance in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) or simulated IMC is maintained

Range Statement

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.
